theme with an intro page

  • Hello,

    I’m currently using the Edin Theme.
    Is there a possibility to have a page before the front page ?
    What I want to achieve is that the visitor to the site first sees a full screen picture with text on it (2-3 paragraphs of writing, more than just a line). This page can be skipped by clicking on “enter” or sth. like that.
    With the Edin theme I don’t see such a possibility.
    Is there another theme, that is able to do that ?
    I saw the TwentySeventeen comes close to it.

    Could you please give an advice ?

    Thanks a lot.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi, you can create a static front page for your site and set that to your main page at Settings > Reading. It can then be styled with CSS to have a background image and just your enter text. This would be the basics. It uses the “home” CSS class from the opening body html tag on a page set to be the front page.

    body.home {
  background: url('URL_OF_IMAGE') no-repeat scroll center top / cover !important;
}
.home .site-content, .home #colophon, .home .hero {
  background-color: transparent !important;
}
.home .hero {
  display: none;
}
.home .site-header {
  visibility: hidden;
}
